The game between Top Four teams took place in Bemmel. Top-ranked host Lekdetec.nl (11-0) defeated 3rd ranked Grasshoppers (6-3) 73-69. It ended at the same time the three-game winning streak of Grasshoppers. Worth to mention a great performance of center Rowie Jongeling (187-93) who helped to win the game recording 16 points and 8 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and the former international guard Karin Kuijt (175-90) who added 11 points and 10 assists during the contest. The best for the losing side was Noortje Driessen (178-99) with 13 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. Grasshoppers' coach Rick Driessen rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Undefeated Lekdetec.nl have an impressive 11-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 11-0 record. Grasshoppers at the other side keep the third place with three games lost. Lekdetec.nl are looking forward to face Den Helder (#4) in Den Helder in the next round. Grasshoppers will play at home against the league's second-placed Binnenland and it may be a tough game between close rivals. Bottom-ranked Amazone (0-12) is still winless. But it was rather predictable considering how strong their opponent was. This time they lost on the road their 12th consecutive match to second ranked Binnenland (8-2) 90-54. The winners were led by guard Gabrielle Van Den Bosch (173-93) who scored that evening 24 points and 4 steals and Janine Guijt supported her with 19 points and 5 rebounds. Binnenland's coach Joost van Rangelrooy felt very confident using 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Even a double-double of 24 points and 12 rebounds (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field) by Austrian forward Camilla Neumann (181-94) did not help to save the game for Amazone. Binnenland maintains second position with 8-2 record having four points less than leader Lekdetec.nl. Amazone at the other side still closes the standings with 12 games lost. Binnenland will play against Grasshoppers (#3) in Katwijk in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Amazone will play at home against Royal Eagles (#6) and hopes to get finally their first victory.The game in Apeldoorn was also quite interesting.

Traditionally, every week we bring you a list of the top performances of Dutch players who are currently playing abroad.

#1. This week's number one is former international point guard Francisca Petronelia Donders (175-89, agency: LBM Management, currently plays in Latvia). She led Rapla KK to a victory over the closely-ranked KK Tallinna Ulikool (5-4) 85-80 in the Latvian NBL in Friday night's game.
Petronelia Donders was MVP of the game. She scored 21 points, grabbed 4 boards, dished 3 assists and stole 3 balls in 31 minutes on the court.
It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. FCR Media-Rapla KK (5-3) is placed third in the NBL.
Petronelia Donders' team will play only one more game in the Regular Season. And that game will be critical.
It's Petronelia Donders' first season with the team.
She has relatively good stats this year: 13.8ppg, 4.6rpg, 3.5apg, 2.1spg, 2FGP: 52.7%, 3FGP: 28.0% and FT: 91.7% in eight games she played so far.
Petronelia Donders played for the Dutch senior national team three years ago.

#3. The Dutch player who performed third best last week abroad was an international forward Chatilla Van Grinsven (190-89, also represented by LBM Management, college: St.Joseph's, currently plays in Turkey). Van Grinsven could not help Osmaniye (2-3) in their last game. Despite her good performance Osmaniye lost 55-67 on the road to the higher-ranked (#7) Samsun.
Van Grinsven had a double-double by scoring 11 points and getting 14 rebounds in 30 minutes.
It was Osmaniye's third consecutive loss in a row.
But this is still an early stage of the season and everything may happen.
Van Grinsven is ranked sixth on the list of the best rebounders in the league with 10.0rpg.
This year her other stats are: 11.8ppg, 1.8apg, 2FGP: 40.4% and FT: 45.5% in four games.
Van Grinsven is also a member of the Dutch senior national team.

#4. Guard Laura Cornelius (173-96, currently plays college basketball in the States) contributed to an easy victory against the Texas Tech University 74-56 in the NCAA in Sunday night's game.

Slim recorded 6 points.
The Syracuse was defeated 77-72 at home by the Ohio State University.
Slim is one of the most experienced players in a team as it's her fourth year in Syracuse's roster.
Her total stats this season are: 7.5ppg, 4.5rpg, 2.0apg and 2.5spg.
Slim is a former international player as she played for the Dutch senior team two years ago.

#7. International power forward Emese Hof (190-96, is currently at the American university) is a teammate of previously mentioned Laura Cornelius. But that was another game of her team in NCAA which we would like to mention.
Hof managed to help University of Miami, Florida in a victory against the Ohio State University 94-89.
She scored 5 points in 9 minutes.
The University of Miami, Florida has conference record this season.
This year Hof's total stats are: 4.2ppg and 3.0rpg in five games.

The Dutch federation named Hakim Salem their new playcaller for the national team after stopping the cooperation with Remy de Wit earlier this summer. Salem is currently coaching league leader Batouwe. Remy de Wit had to step down as the national Federation decided his job as a athletic director with FSG Royal Eagles.

Salem made name for himself as a coach in the mens league with Apollo Amsterdam and Groningen before switching to the Ladies Staff of newly appointed national coach Remy de Wit who succeeded long time headcoach Meindert van Veen. After little more than a year with the national team as an associate headcoach Hakim Salem started with cupwinner Lekdetec from Bemmel in his first tenure as a headcoach in womens basketball. Already in preseason the Dutch federation announced they were ending the deal with De Wit, and after consideration with both parties Salem was the interim headcoach for the final Qualifying Window last november. After suffering a serious defeat in France the team bounced back at home versus Estonia with a solid win.

Salem will step down as headcoach in Bemmel. His succedor is to be announced
